My Repair List
So I have this 2007 KPX Z-200 motorcycle. From what I gather, KPX Motors was an Arizona dealer that went out of business. Seeing other pictures of motorcycles here in China Riders, the KPX Z-200 looks a lot like some Roketas and Jetmotos. Are those based on Honda bikes?
Anyways, I've gone over the bike and made a preliminary list of things to do before riding and getting her registered:

That's a pretty ambitious list. How do you plan to remove the logo from the seat?

Do you have a title for the bike, I would make sure it can be registered before I go through all the work.

I forgot to mention get wider foot pegs.
No, I don't have title, yet. I have 2 bill of sales: one from my friend and one from the guy in Arizona that sold it to him. It was never titled. I spoke to the DMV here and all they're wanting is a licensed motorcycle mechanic to sign off on its roadworthiness. For that, I have to complete the first list as turn signals are required for on road use. But you're right, Buzzkill, title and registration first. Then the farkling begins. |

It sounds like you have a good plan. Getting your turn signals installed will be an interesting project to watch; I hope to learn a lot from your experience with the turn signals. Did you find any wires coming from your turn signal switch?

I did have a look at the switch assembly this evening and low and behold there are wires attached to the turn signal switch! I didn't take a picture of it, but I will when I document the installation of the turn signals.
There's an orange wire connected to the left turn switch, a gray wire connected to the off position and a light blue wire connected to the right turn signal switch. I didn't follow where the wires went because it got too dark to continue. So I sat there and dreamed of the possibilities. |

I used acetone on a rag to take the logo off the seat on my bike. A couple of wipes and it was gone like magic!

ecabo.
I have the Roketa. I picked up the Clymer manual M318-4 for the XL/XR/TLR 125 - 200, 1979 - 2003. It helps. Check your fuel lines & such. The rubber stinks. Good luck. John |
